Meyers used to be the Lakers play by play guy for a long time. This is like his 4th season in New Orleans. I wouldn't really consider him a "National Guy". Plus he doesn't know anything about Meyers' contract situation more than anybody on here.

Not that this is relevant to the topic, but I am always a little surprised by how often the Los Angeles sports radio hosts continue to take shots at Joel Meyers. Seems like a nice guy to me, but they sure love to make fun of him.

Worked with him a few times. Been in production meetings and he really knows the game. I'd put him at the higher end of NBA play by play guys.

Im streaming the game online and the Pelicans announcers just said Meyers turned down 4 for 60

SIXTY MILLION DOLLARS he turned down from the blazers he will be lucky to get half of that now, and may be playing himself OUT of the NBA.

We all need to take a moment to thank our lucky stars we are not stuck with that albatross of a contract

Turned down? Maybe that's what he asked for, but I doubt he was offered that. Sounds like his agent talking.

I don't doubt that for a second. But he sure did something to piss off the Lakers. I get the impression from the guys who worked with him, that he might have been a little "full of himself"

I have no clue...... but I can tell you that the OKC play by play guy Brian Davis is absolutely HATED back in Seattle.
 
It's more likely the Blazers offered 4 years @ 6 million per and somehow that got misheard/misrepeated as 4/60. And based on the end of last season of course Meyers would have turned that down and "bet on himself".

Or, it's complete bullshit.

First you say Meyers is wrong about Meyers. Then you say Meyers is right about Meyers. What are you trying to say?

Probably said "sixteen" not "sixty"

oh he said 60 leave no doubt about it Im not saying its necessarily the truth its all hearsay but thats why I started the thread the sheer lunacy of the offer and then the denial of it by Leonard

.....what if it did tho right now as we sit here I think it very likely Leonard got twisted by his agent into thinking he could tristian thompson us into a max deal with the cap ready to skyrocket
 
Of course. Leonard's agent's job is to advise Leonard and to make as much commission as he can.

However, what Leonard's agent is able to convince Meyers of and what he is able to convince Olshey and Allen of are probably light years apart. Like the distance between $60million/4 years and $6million a year for 4 years.

Leonard's agent probably did (as I would have) asked for $60m/4yrs. But there is no fucking way Olshey offered that, and there is no fucking way Leonard's agent would have advised turning that down. His agent may be greedy, but I doubt he's stupid.

Just my opinion, of course.

:cheers:
 
Hahaha if Meyers got offered that and he had the nerve to decline it then hes a dumb ass. He'll be lucky to even get the vets minimum at this point
 
This reminds me of, but I'm too lazy/busy to look it up, that huge contract (at the time) Bonzi Wells turned down. Bone head decision of the decade?

Edit: OK I looked it up. As the story goes, Bonzi's agent didn't accept an at the time jaw-dropping $8 per year for 5 years. By the time Bonzi found out and told him to take it, the Kings took it off the table and spent their money elsewhere.

Funny how years later someone like Meyers will probably get that, and more.
 
Did CLE ever cave and give Thompson a ridiculous contract?
 
Meyers last 5 games.... 18.4mpg... 4.2ppg 4.4rpg.... shooting 29.4%fg and 6% from 3's

Told you guys hes just a "Matt Boner" end of the bench type of player you can be used in limited certain situations.

Fortunately, coaches and GMs do more than look at a player's last 5 games in making personnel decisions. The guy is in a massive shooting slump, which isn't sutprising given he's coming back from a dislocated shoulder. Give him some time.

You always gotta be negative...

I don't disagree with you but you always focus on the negative man. Like Lillards 3s (even though he's 37%).

I've said many times I have no problem with Lillard EXCEPT his 3point shooting. Everything else is perfect with him. I just hate when he thinks hes Curry jacking up 3s like crazy. But I've noticed these last few games hes slowed down on that

Bro he's our best player on this team! He could shoot 3s EVERY god damned time down the court and we shouldn't care!

Statiscally speaking 100 possessions of Lillard 3s would result in 111 points (37 x 3), while we average around 105 points per100. So him shooting is a good thing. And the threat of him pulling from anywhere at anytime draws more attention opening up things for other guys.
